Happy Tuesday, everyone!

This is going to be another exciting, tutorial-filled week!

What’s the deal? Basic stitches edition

In this tutorial, I’ll be showing you the two basic stitches upon which 99% of knitting is based on: the knit stitch and the purl stitch. In Thursday’s post, you learned the long-tailed cast-on. You can totally continue on with that piece, if you’d like, or you can start a new piece if you’d like more practice.

What’s the deal? Cast-on edition

Hello knitters!

There are many different ways to cast-on. In today’s tutorial, however, I’ll be showing you my favorite technique! Don’t worry about any others for now; if we need to use any others for a project, I’ll create a tutorial for those when the time comes.
